An IQ Score of 120 is Bright Normal Intelligence
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale classifies an IQ Score of 120 as bright normal intelligence. Moreover, if you or your child scored a 120 on an IQ test, congratulations, your IQ score is above the average IQ level of everyone who has ever taken a real IQ test! Furthermore, if you decide to read the rest of this article (and you should if you really want to raise your IQ score) you will learn four things.
1. Is my IQ score valid -
did you take a real IQ test or did you take a just-for-fun IQ test?
2. How to raise my IQ score from 120 to 135 -
yes, it is possible to raise your IQ by as much as 15 points!
3. IQ and standard deviation -
standard deviation is factored in to every IQ test and you should know what that means.
4. IQ and Occupation -
IQ does not impact the amount of money you make; however, IQ usually determines the type of employment options you have.
Is my IQ score valid?
Before we tell you how to raise your IQ score, let's make sure your IQ score is valid. Over 98 percent of all online IQ tests are created by non-licensed psychologists and if you take an online IQ test from any website that does not inform you who created their IQ test, chances are you have taken a just-for-fun IQ test. Moreover, if you take an IQ test from such a website, chances are, your IQ score is not only incorrect, but higher than what it should be.
In order to get an accurate IQ score, you must take a valid and real online IQ test and we offer two such IQ tests for kids (ages 6-16) that were created by the licensed psychologist, Dr. William A. McConochie PH.D. Moreover, we offer five more online IQ tests that were created by licensed psychometricians at Expert Rating.
The first two tests below, were created by Dr. William A. McConochie PH.D and he states that both tests are just as accurate as the Wechsler Intelligence Tests for Children. Moreover, these tests are affordable at the U.S. price of $19.97 each.
Spatial IQ test for kids - Ages 6-16.
Verbal IQ test for kids - Ages 6-16.
The next five tests were created by our friends at Expert Rating and each test was created by licensed psychometricians. Moreover these tests are affordable at the U.S. price of $9.99. Although these IQ tests are just as accurate as the two previously mentioned for $19.97, they are not as thorough and as in-depth as the other two.
Toddler IQ test - For a child age 3.
IQ test for kids - Ages 4-6.
IQ test for children - Ages 7-9.
kids IQ test - Ages 10-15.
IQ Test - Adults ages 16 and older.
After taking any one of our seven tests, you will be provided will an accurate IQ score and detailed psychometric analysis report. Moreover, you will learn your or your child's intellectual strengths and weakness. And as stated before, all of our IQ tests are just as accurate as the Wechsler Intelligence Tests for Children.
How to raise your IQ score from 120 to 135
IQ scores can fluctuate from 10-15 points which means an IQ of 120 can be raised as high as an IQ of 135 and likewise, an IQ score of 120 means that you also have the potential to score as low as 105 or even lower.
To raise your IQ score from 120 to as high as 135, play word games and puzzles. Word games such as Scrabble and crossword puzzles enrich your vocabulary and you learn the meanings of words which will help you with the vocabulary portion of any IQ test. The majority of all IQ tests incorporate advanced vocabulary and will test your knowledge of such words as opulence and timocracy. Prior to taking an IQ test, you should spend some time working on crossword puzzles and word games. You will be surprised to find that some of the words you find in such puzzles wind up on the vocabulary portion of an IQ test.
Brush up on your mathematics. Items such as geometry, simple math problems like addition, subtraction, division, and fractions commonly appear on IQ tests. Moreover, advanced math problems such as algebra and sequencing are found as well.
General knowledge questions appear frequently on IQ tests. General knowledge information is simply the world around you and how much you know about the world around you. For example, it is not uncommon for an IQ test to ask you such questions as "how far is the Earth from the sun?" and "what is the circumference of the Earth?" You can enhance your general knowledge by watching American TV shows like Jeopardy and Cash Cab and by reading periodicals, newspapers, and magazines.
Although there are many other facets of an IQ test, the majority of questions will encompass vocabulary, math and general knowledge. There are dozens of websites that claim to boost intelligence, but there is one that really does it very well and that is the popular website Lumosity. Lumosity is dedicated to enhancing all the facets of intellectual abilities and it will sharpen your brain and quicken your spatial awareness all of which will help you to raise your IQ score.
In the next topic, we will discuss IQ and standard deviation. Although you can bypass this topic, it is helpful in understanding how IQ scores are calculated.
IQ and standard deviation
In statistics and probability theory, the standard deviation shows how much variation or dispersion from the average (mean, also called expected value) exists. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean; a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a large range of values.
When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately 100 percent of the population scores an IQ between 70 and 130, which is within two standard deviations of the median.
Next well will discuss IQ and occupation. As mentioned earlier, your IQ does not limit the amount of money you make; however, it usually limits your career opportunities. The following list of career options are not complete but will give you a rough esitmate of the types of employment that can be attained with an IQ score of 120.
IQ and occupation
People who work in the following occupations typically have an average IQ of 120. However, there are people who have an IQ higher than 120 that are employed in the types of careers listed below but do so usually until a better career opportunity presents itself. If you feel like you are stuck in a dead-end job, try taking one of our online career aptitude tests. They are inexpensive and can help you find a career that best suits you and your personality and your IQ score of 120.

IQ Table and percentiles for an IQ score of 120
The table below demonstrates a cross reference of your IQ score. For example, an IQ score of 120 received by taking the Stanford-Binet can be cross referenced to measure the same score in the Cattell Intelligence Test and the Wechsler Intelligence Tests. Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores can also be converted from an IQ score of 120. And finally, the IQ table gives you the rarity and percentile of your IQ score of 120 and it also demonstrates how your IQ score ranks against the general population.

Just ordered some stuff to make a Jedi costume. I am wondering, where's the best place to get a light saber or are there any tutorials on how to build your own?

There are tutorials on how to make your own lightsaber here:
If you want one pre-made with removable blade, there are a number of them you can find online that can custom them for you, but, to quote Dax from Ep 2, "it all depends on you deep your pockets are"

I've looked at pre-made ones, but I'm not sure if I want to go that route, then again, I'm not totally sold on the build your own one either. I know I don't have all the tools to make the sabre, but I can't seem to find a pre-made one that I actually like.

I recommend either parksabers or ultrasabers; the difference being whether you want sound (go ultrasabers) or no sound (go parksabers).

I'm looking them over, still not sure. I know you can get ultras without sound, but I'm just not completely sold on what kind.

It is going to depend on what is more important to you. parksabers use 3/4" blades which have LEDs inside (look at parksabers blade anatomy section for more info) which lets them have the scroll on and off function; because of this the hilts are therefore thinner and closer to "movie accurate" (google for a comparison between parksaber's Obi-wan hilt vs. the Force-FX Obi-wan to get an idea). Because of this, there is no room for a sound card in the hilt.
Ultrasabers use 1" blades, the hilts are broader and thus have the room for the sound card. because the single LED in the hilt provides the light for the blade, the blade 'snaps' on and off rather than scrolls.
Both sabers blades are removable so they can be worn on the belt. Again, it really comes down to what features are the most important (sorry if these are things you already determined; just thought I'd put it out there for others

I just remembered that there is also noturne armoury. they sell premade hilts without blades and electronics (so half the job is done for you). If you go the route of building your own, go with the custom saber shop for parts.

I really haven't found one that I really like. I'm half tempted to get Dooku's sabre only because I prefer a curved hilt, but I'm SOL because of the red blade unless I could order a replacement blade.

You may want to talk to Ken here in the base (ramsesxv). He is a sabresmith and may be able to.point you in the right direction as far as a curved hilt or modding a dooku hilt

Samentha grew up in Bavaria, Germany and is a first generation immigrant to the United States. Her family moved to upstate NY at age 10, where she learned English and quickly became aware of the cultural differences that separated her from her peers. She bridged the language barrier by diving into organized sports. She found that basketball would be the closest substitute to replacing her beloved handball team left behind in Germany. Multiple moves later, Sam and her family ended up in Atlanta where she attended school and cultivated her passion for theater. Sports started to take a backseat, and Sam entered the workforce right after school where fitness fell by the way side. At age 25, Sam found herself in a quarter life crisis.

Crop Protection
The Official Journal of the International Association for the Plant Protection
The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
Abiotic damage
Agronomic control methods
Assessment of pest and disease damage
Biological control
Biorational pesticides
Control of animal pests of world crops
Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms
Control of weeds and integrated management
Economic and social considerations
Effects of plant growth regulators
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use
Environmental effects of pesticides
Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control
Food safety
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications
Importance and control of postharvest crop losses
Integrated control
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies
Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection
Pesticide application methods
Pest management
Resistance management
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
The editors of Crop Protection invite workers concerned with pest, disease and weed control to submit suitable contributions on any topic falling within the aims and scope of the journal.

Etsy Favorites: Passion for PeppermintDecember 28, 2013, 09:00 am Posted by Nicole McConville
This time of the year I get struck by a nearly uncontrollable craving. As the shelves of the grocery store fill with the enticement of seasonal treats, I focus my attention on seeking out my personal holiday favorite: peppermint. I think this desire was instilled at an early age with that miracle known as peppermint ice cream, a frozen miracle of flavor, spotted with little peppermint candy bits. I looked forward to its arrival every year. Now as an adult my culinary tastes have expanded and my sweet tooth has been (somewhat) tamed, but the annual love for that cooling peppermint remains. With that urge in mind I set my eyes to Etsy to seek out some items that would bring lip-smacking, smile-inducing peppermint pleasure to the rest of these chilly winter months. What I found only fuels my need to stock up. Full credits and shop links below!

A Colonial Christmas European Style
Day One:
Enjoy a "Colonial Christmas" at Jamestown Settlement. This program compares the contrast of English Christmas customs of the 1600s with how the season may have been observed in the difficult early years. In the re-created colonial fort, you may encounter the English tradition of the Lord of Misrule, "grand captain of all mischief." An afternoon drive on the scenic Colonial Parkway takes you to Yorktown, where the decisive victory of the American Revolution was won. Take a stroll through Historic Yorktown village and along Riverwalk Landing. Next stop, the Yorktown Victory Center. At the Continental Army encampment, learn about winter camp life and hear accounts of Christmas during the war, as well as assist the quartermaster in preparing military supplies. At the 1780s farm, historical interpreters demonstrate a variety of holiday activities, including sharing the English tradition of Boxing Da and setting a farmhouse table for a holiday feast.
Day Two:
"The Christmas Decorations Walking Tour" at Colonial Williamsburg is a great way to enjoy the Historic Area all decked out in holiday finery with boughs, wreaths and other decorations. At the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, 18th- & 19th-century holiday traditions will be the subject of special focus tours. Art programs will allow you to explore the exhibitions, make a toy, ornament or decoration to take home. In the evening, enjoy Christmas Town: A Busch Gardens Celebration Europen style. Stroll under a canopy of more than a million twinkling lights and on every street corner you'll hear the sounds of the season. From traditional Christmas favorites in England, to country-style classics in New France and Celtic sounds in the streets of Ireland. Make sure to visit Santa's workshop at the North Pole before heading to Oktoberfest to view Virginia's tallest lighted Christmas tree.

With mountain snowpack high, and rainy months on the way, now is the time to buy flood insurance, say state and federal emergency management officials.
In most circumstances, there is a thirty-day waiting period from the time the policy is written and the premium is paid until the policy goes into effect. That means a policy purchased today, in April, would not go into effect until the same date in May. It also means that a policy

Before you do anything, either you or a potential supplier must run a heat load analysis. This requires measurements of the glass area, building insulation, size, and orientation and takes into account the local weather. Just taking sq footage will not likely produce the most efficient or comfortable solution. If the calculation comes in-between standard sizes (normal), you'll usually be better off choosing the closest smaller unit. It will run longer, removing more moisture, and even if on the hottest day it runs continuously, the house will feel better because it will be drier. The worst thing to do is have one too large, since you'll be cold, clammy, and spending lots more money than needed. It's much better to be a little warmer on the hottest day of the year, and be much more comfortable the remainder. And, that may only be a degree or two. Because you'll be nice and dry, you may not even notice.
The compressor must be outside, but your question of where the rest goes depends. If you can place ducts in the ceilings of the areas to be conditioned from the attic, then placing the air handler there may be best since the cost of ducting will be minimized.
If the ceiling registers would be too obtrusive, you can go with a high velocity system ($$). These put what almost look like recessed light cans as outlet registers in the ceiling. It uses a diffuser and high velocity to get enough cold air into the room.
If you want to avoid ductwork, have you looked at any of the mini-split systems? This leaves the compressor(s) outside, and some can have up to 3 outlets, each individually controlled. No ductwork to run. The unit is bolted to the wall and depending on the model, is maybe 5" thick. Many can be controlled with a remote, so you do not need to be able to access (except to periodically clean the filters). Mitsubishi makes some nice ones, and others may have some additional recommendations. this allows you to easily only cool those area(s) you want.

One of the best resturants in Greenville – I have used them for catering a 100+ dinner event and had raving reviews on my surveys. I myself eat there often and absolutely love the food. The owners who run the Restaurant always great you with a smile every single time and as the previous review said they always remember your name and usually your meal if you order the same thing all the time. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the place when you walk in their menu is top notch. My vegetarians have all unanimously asked to have their raps again and several of my guests are planning to use their catering services for their events as well.

Elks Lodge #2472
[ 10/10 ]
Large long pull throughs. Good food, friendly, and great stop over. We use it when ever we are in the area. I have never been disappointed. It's proximity to the Oregon State surplus auction facility does not hurt!
Redding, California
Elks Lodge #1073
[ 3/10 ]
I guess I liked this park better before it was redone. They removed the trees, grass, and camp feel and replaced it with asphalt and locked the dump station after 10 PM until 9 AM. Not much to steal. The lodge is still great. $25 seems high to travel so far off the freeway to park in a lot.
Nathrop, Colorado
Chalk Creek Campground & RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
Nice staff and sites but 40/nite is steep for electric only. Good Wi-Fi although the campground guidelines warned us against over using it. Most of the low score comes from the attitude shown on the guidelnes given at time of induction. "Violations of any of the guidelines may result in expulsion with no refund. Please advise the office of any infractions so that they may be addressed" yep in the Guidelines! I have never been ask to inform on my fellow camper before. As I said the staff did not represent this attitude. I think Col Klink may have had something to do with the guidlines.
Anacortes, Washington
Washington Park Campground
[ 8/10 ]
I have camped here for the last 20 years and have never had a bad time. This is a camp ground with electric and water; not a full service RV park on pavement with cables. This is a clean family oriented great treed camp. I can't really remember the rate but it was fair. Thank you Anacortes for this camp. I don't recommend bringing anything over 30 feet.
Gold Canyon, Arizona
Arizonian Travel Trailer Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Best ATV oriented park ever! Ride 50 miles over 5400' mountain out the back gate. At six am coffee find what group ride is leaving each morning. These rides are put on by park residence. Price based on monthly rate with an allowance for electric. This does not include the $10,000 we spent on the used side by side ATV we bought during our first week. Staff and residence very friendly. Everyone waves and is very helpful. We are staying an extra month. The 55 plus folks at this park will take you on some wild ATV rides. A free workshop, pressure washer and desert golf course add to a great time.
Burns, Oregon
Crystal Crane Hot Springs
[ 10/10 ]
No, this RV facility is not a 10 but the hot springs pond that is free 24 hours a day, the friendly staff, the clean facility, easy level pull through spaces and the PA rate of $12 makes this place an eleven. I drove an extra 100 miles to send my birthday here. We stay here on our way south and back when ever possible.
Easton, Washington
Lake Easton Resort
[ 8/10 ]
We pulled in late and left early. The operator gave us the PA rate on the week end because they were slow. Nice roomy park with shaded large, pull through spaces. Easy in and out in the dark. Nice club house with coffee. Very friendly staff on the phone. In this area and for this park this is a real deal.
Montrose, Colorado
Montrose / Black Canyon Nat'l Park KOA
[ 10/10 ]
I just spent 2 months at this RV park. Great staff and park. I can't seem to think of any reason to even rate it at a nine! I especially liked the room service style LP tank fill. Just set it out side and it get's picked up, filled, put on your bill and returned. Just think two months without the cable TV or WiFi acting up. I will be back. The fact that I have two grand children in Montrose Colorado may also influence my travel plans back to this area.
Hermiston, Oregon
Pioneer RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
If I was paying full price I would rate this park an 8. At passport prices it s a steal and the kind of immaculate park I look for and rarely find in my Passport book.
Hagerman, Idaho
Miracle Hot Springs RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Small RV park with shade, stream, friendly staff, and a supper hot springs facility make this a regular stop for us. We have stayed in a 29' 5th and a 37' motor home with no problem. Only a few large sites so check ahead of time in a big rig. I would park in their large parking lot to use the hot springs. This is one of my favorite stops that has an alligator as a camp pet!
Honeyville, Utah
Crystal Hot Springs
[ 5/10 ]
You will hate or love this place depending on your feeling about hot springs. Avoid the camp restrooms use the lodge units and no the smell you may encounter is not the sewage system; it is the cows next door. I would never stay here if it were not for the hot springs. That said I always stay here on my way north or south because of the springs. Staff is friendly and a whole lot cleaner then the camp bath houses. This could be a great destination for families. I am sure it has been and will be again.
Austin, Nevada
Austin RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Yes this is a humble park. It has what you need for a overnight and is an easy back in off a little used road for my limited ability and 29' 5th wheel. The profit from our $20 donation to the small Baptist church that runs the park goes to improve the town. This park, the cafe and the people make Austin a favorite stop over for me and my dog.
Soap Lake, Washington
Soap Lake RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
To the person who felt out of place in his 40' motor home please stay away. You paid $26 for EWS Wi-Fi and a view of a great lake. My I suggest Wal-Mart next time. The park is very clean and a good value at Passport America rates.
Osburn, Idaho
Blue Anchor RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Wi-Fi is working well right now. Good utilities including strong cable. Manager is easy going. The park is showing it's age but who of us are not!!!! Woodall gives it 4 stars--I would say 3 plus at most.
Carlton, Washington
Carlton RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Great food, friendly staff and a chance for a cocktail or three within walking range of the rig more than make up for the lack of Wi-Fi and cable. This is camping in the country with lots of grass and plenty of shade to read under. A Washington state favorite for me and my family.
Anacortes, Washington
Washington Park Campground
[ 7/10 ]
I can not understand the other low ratings. This is a city owned park designed much like state parks. No, it is not a 5 star park but it has the ocean, trees, boat launch and the San Juan Island ferry terminal within a mile. If you like to camp with trees and a camp fire instead of wi-fi and cable this is a park for you. It has a dump station on the way out. I have not had a bad stay here in the last 19 years of use.
Montrose, Colorado
Cedar Creek RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Immaculate facilities. Nice owner / operators. Dog park, stream, wifi, cable and shade make this park worth the $$$. Spaces can be a little close but easy in and out.
Tecopa Hot Springs, California
Peterson's Tecopa Palms RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
My favorite RV park anywhere. Immaculate throughout. Hot springs, people, and most of all management keep bringing us back yearly. Managers make this park a 10! If you have a Prevost attitude please don't come. This is a middle class retired group from the cold north (US & Canada). The spaces are a little close but your neighbor will soon become your friend.

A standard double bowl kitchen sink is 33x22. Why don't you just use a jigsaw to enlarge your cutout by another 2-3 inches. I wouldn't consider that a major remodeling job.
Like most, I wasn't "rich" enough to buy a stick-built home here in the Puget Sound area, so after buying a manufactured home, we find that some of the "parts" of it are just not working for normal, everyday chores like, say, washing a pot used to boil spaghetti in. The sink, a 33X19 (and not stainless steel), is "ok" but it's rather hard to wash anything of any size in it.
Does anyone know where I could find an AFFORDABLE (under $300) sink
of this size or maybe even 33X20?
We can't do a major remodel of the kitchen yet - we had to re-pipe the moment we bought the home - yet another "thing" that wasn't really explained to us before we bought the home (long story).
Thanks in advance to anyone who give me a hint where to start. I've called all the major manufacturers of sinks - Kohler, American Standard and a few others but *IF* they have them, they are above what anyone who is IN a manufactured home could possibly afford and a 20 gauge sink that is all of 7 inches deep will NOT do since anyone who has seen these cheap sinks will attest to, they would rattle like nuts if you tried to put a disposal on them.
A standard double bowl kitchen sink is 33x22. Why don't you just use a jigsaw to enlarge your cutout by another 2-3 inches. I wouldn't consider that a major remodeling job.
They probably have a narrow countertop. Elkay makes many "odd" sized ledge back sinks.
I was looking at the Elkay website and they do have an 18 gauge 33 x 19 stainless steal sink for $700. The manufactured home websites all have your cheap 20 gauge 7" deep model that doesn't work for spaghetti pots. And now I see some that are a bit deeper, but they are 22 gauge! There are a lot of porcelain sinks in that size, but that's probably what you have and don't like.
How narrow is your countertop?
Last edited by Verdeboy; 09-26-2006 at 09:12 PM.
When you look at sinks in that size range, many of them are "flat rim" sinks without the faucet holes or back ledge. You have to be sure the one you select is a ledgeback, unless your sink is a flat rim one with the faucet on the wall.

Fuji Altamira SL Road Bike - 2013It takes a lot to stand out from the crowd and take home one of Bicycling Magazine's Best New Road Bikes awards, but that's just what Fuji did with the Altamira SL road bike. Not content to rest on their laurels, Fuji took the Grand Tour winning Altamira and shaved every possible square gram they could without sacrificing safety or performance. The result is a bike that is claimed to weigh in at right around 13.8 pounds, which is just about one pound under the UCI legal race limit. So how did they do it? We'll tell you.
Fuji started off by looking at the Altamira frame, and made a few adjustments. They created it using C15 carbon fiber, and their revolutionary high compaction molding process. What this new process does is basically eliminate wrinkles and squeeze out every spare drop of epoxy. This makes for a denser, more consistent and lighter weight carbon layup than is usually found on bikes. They also looked at tube shape and thickness, tapering the top tube near the seat tube junction to save weight in low-stress areas. But this isn't some willowy, flimsy bike. The BB86 bottom bracket shell and oversized 1-1/8" -- 1-1/2" headtube give rigidity and mass to areas that need extra material and reinforcement. The Fork is a FC-330 carbon monocoque with an oversized, tapered full carbon steer tube for optimal stiffness and handling. The rake provides a level of handling that is impressively responsive without being twitchy or pushing you to the limits of comfort.
The bike is equipped with SRAM's amazingly light 2013 Red 10-speed group. This is one of the lightest groups ever produced, delivers uncompromising performance that can deliver you to the top of the podium. The Red ErgoDynamic shifters are a thing of beauty. While they left the flawlessly functioning DoubleTap internals untouched , SRAM's relentless pursuit of enhanced ergonomics resulted in a set of shifters that integrate seamlessly with the rider's anatomy. With a textured hood, independently adjustable front and rear lever reach, a smaller body with narrower grip profile and a larger ErgoBlade carbon lever for easier shifting from the drops, the new SRAM Red DoubleTap ErgoDynamic Shifters make gear changes smooth, effortless and incredibly comfortable.
The front and rear derailleurs make shifting feel like a dream, and deliver crisp, accurate action with every lever throw. The rear derailleur features Exact Actuation technology for precise, efficient shifting, a hollow titanium anchor bolt and a jockey wheel with refined tooth geometry. It's smooth, precise, and quiet for the ultimate shifting experience. The front derailleur though is where 2013 SRAM Red really earned it's accolades. When it comes to maintaining the integrity of the chain/chainring interface, the 2012 SRAM Red Yaw front derailleur is a game-changer. Not only does the derailleur cage move back and forth, it also rotates, maintaining a precise angular relationship with the chain. That means faster. smoother, more precise shifts every time, eliminating the need for trimming. And to seal the deal, SRAM engineers even incorporated an integrated chain keeper into their elegant design. Adding minimal weight and tons of peace of mind, the ingenious little paddle-like device ensures that the only thing you'll be dropping is your buddies as you're sprinting for the county line.
The SRAM ExoGram crankset features remarkable X Glide R chainrings optimized for use with the YAW Technology found in SRAM's new Red front derailleur. Plus, it's lighter, stronger and stiffer than its predecessor (according to SRAM, the new Red crankset has an even higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than Shimano's Dura-Ace crankset).
To deliver on their promise of a SuperLight bike though, Fuji had to do more than just find a lightweight groupset and pioneer a new carbon layup process. They needed wheels that could leave some grams on the table while still being stiff and lightweight. They turned to their partners at Oval to create a pair of ultra lightweight full carbon tubular wheels that weigh in at a scant 1330g for the pair. Equipped with Vittoria Evo Corsa tubular tires, this is one of the lightest wheelsets you'll tire spec'ed on a bike anywhere.
Rounding out the package are a pair of Oval carbon fiber handle bars, an Oval carbon fiber seatpost, and a lightweight alloy stem.
If keep the weight to a minimum and flying up the mountains is your only goal, then the Fuji Altamira SL is the only bike for you.

SC Freiburg v SpVgg Greuther Fürth: Preview
Freiburg coach Christian Streich is reading more into Greuther Furth's performances than their results, and has a warning for his side.
Furth slipped to the bottom of the Bundesliga last weekend and have only won once all season, but Streich insists that does not reflect their quality.
``If you just look at the way Furth play, then you have got to take your hat off to them,'' he said.
``I therefore expect it to be a very interesting game.
``They played like we did in Hannover, yet they lost 2-0. They are playing the way we play, but don't have that bit of luck, but that makes them dangerous for us.''
Freiburg's own football has won many plaudits this season, and they also have the results to go with it.
Indeed, with 20 points from the first 15 games of the season, they are just three points adrift of the top six, or more importantly, halfway to their aim of 40 for the season.
However, Streich has several selection problems with Fallou Diagne suspended and four further players injured.
``We may have to improvise a little again, but we will certainly be able to put a competitive side together who will do all they can to make this a successful last home game of the year,'' added Streich.
``Our team can put (difficulties) behind them and this is pleasing and it shows the mental strength.''
Wolfgang Hesl is expected to keep goal for Furth once again after being chosen over first-choice custodian Max Grun for the 1-0 defeat to Stuttgart last weekend.
Grun has not taken his demotion very well, but Buskens hopes the move, brought about by what he claims were sub-standard performances from the 25-year-old, will prompt an upturn in his form.
``Little dips happen during your career,'' said the Furth coach. ``We know what we have in Max.''
Grun told Kicker magazine: ``I take the decision as it is, but I don't accept it. Doing so would mean standing still and standing still is like going backwards for me.
``I will continue to give it all I have got.''
Hesl made an impressive debut last weekend, in spite of the defeat, and the change has also been well received by the goalkeeper's team-mates.
``We know that nobody can be assured of their place in our current situation,'' said Lasse Sobiech, who is also bidding for a larger slice of the action.

Many of our physical behaviors are unrehearsed and often go unnoticed. The slightest nuance, however, has the potential to change the entire tone of a conversation -- especially if you're in a leadership position.
"The default mechanism for the brain is negative, so if a gesture can be interpreted either positive or negative, we're almost always going to take the negative side," says Carol Goman, an executive coach. Because of this, it's important for leaders to recognize the power of a small gesture.
Goman, a senior advisor for The Dilenschneider Group, a New York-based communications consultant, has delivered keynote addresses at events hosted by The Conference Board and the International Association of Business Communicators. In her new book, The Silent Language of Leaders , she discusses what managers need to know about body language to lead effectively. The book is scheduled for publication in April by Jossey-Bass, an imprint of Wiley.
Here are a few lessons that Goman says are key takeaways for leaders looking to better manage their mannerisms.
Lesson One: If You're Not Looking, You're Not Listening.
You might think you can multi-task -- and perhaps you can -- but looking at your Blackberry or making a cup of coffee while an employee is sharing an idea with you signals disinterest almost instantaneously.
"If a manager wants to engender collaboration and wants to build a team, they need to give equal and strong eye contact to every person that works for them," says Goman. Being aware of this will encourage staff to share ideas as they have them, rather than have concern that your interest isn't piqued.
On the other hand, this awareness can be used to achieve a different end. "Sometimes, if you want to cut a person off, you can just sharply look away from them," suggests Goman. While it isn't foolproof, knowing the advantages of making -- or breaking -- eye contact can help you manage more effectively.
Lesson Two: Actions Speak Louder than Words.
Think of a few gestures you make on a daily basis. For example, you might cross your arms when you're cold, or give a thumbs-up to a team member to give them the go-ahead on an assignment. These simple, seemingly innocuous gestures, however, can take on an entirely different meaning than intended.
"You need to understand the power of a gesture," says Goman. Crossing your arms after saying you welcome any questions is contradictory -- by closing your body off in such a manner, you're suggesting that you don't actually have the time to hear any questions, but felt like you should ask for them anyway.
It's also a cultural matter. Certain gestures -- like a thumbs-up or the "okay" sign -- take on a completely different meaning outside of American borders. Make sure you're aware of any movements you're making to avoid any potentially offensive and awkward situations.
Lesson Three: Keep Your Distance.
If you've ever been in a crowded subway car in Manhattan, you probably know what it feels like to have your personal space invaded, trampled on, and essentially erased.
A good rule of thumb: You should never have that feeling in an office.
"The closer we are to someone, the closer we let them into our personal space," says Goman. So while your spouse, close friend, or child can be comfortably within a foot-and-a-half of you, it's probably not okay to be that close to a colleague.
For everyday workplace interactions, keeping four to 12 feet between you and a colleague is recognized as a comfortable distance -- more if you're presenting to a group, and less if you're giving them a pat on the back for a job well done.
Lesson Four: Keep a Smile on Your Face -- Most of the Time.
There are seven facial expressions, like those for happiness, grief, anger, or surprise, that are read universally across cultures. While this can be useful in conveying a thought intentionally, it also means that even the most fleeting glimpse of anger or disdain might be picked up on -- so carefully manage your initial reactions to what a colleague says when they're sharing their ideas.
Smiling, in particular, nearly always induces a positive reaction.
"When somebody smiles at us, the corners of our mouth turns up to mimic it which puts us in a better mood, it causes our brain chemistry to change," says Goman. To convey approval, excitement, encouragement, or general confidence in your team, just smile.
Women, however, tend to "oversmile," says Goman, so be careful not to overdo it. "Females who smile at the wrong time can weaken their authority when they do so," says Goman. Smiles tend to add levity or empathy to situations, so both men and women alike should trade a smile for a straight face when the occasion is more sincere.

Having worked as a Service Engineer in the Powered Access Industry for over 15 years, I have enjoyed watching the developments of MEWPS and seeing how the Industry has improved both safety and productivity levels for people working at height.
One of the big attractions of joining Horizon Platforms in September 2009 was their focus on customer service and their desire to be the best Access Hire company around.
As a member of the Service team one of my main roles within the Company is going out to construction sites to carry out servicing and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections on all Horizons' fleet of access platforms. I also carry out LOLER services at customer premises' on their own platforms, as it is a legal requirement that all platforms have to be LOLER tested.
LOLER regulations came into force in 1998. They cover all operations and equipment which involve lifting people and goods at work. The inspection is a thorough examination inspection of the platform which has to be carried out by a trained, competent person at least every 6 months to make sure the access platform is fit and safe to be used.
Horizon constantly update their fleet of machines and only ever buy brand new equipment.
With further investment from JLG, Genie, Skyjack and Niftylift throughout 2011, we are sure to be able to supply even more customers and allow them to experience Horizons first class service.

Brian Kelly wants to face the SEC in a BCS game
Last week during a speech to a Notre Dame alumni chapter in Alabama, Brian Kelly made the statement, "Notre Dame will be taken serious when they beat an SEC team."
On Monday, Kelly did it again.
During a speech in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, Kelly said, "Our (goal) at Notre Dame is to get back to a BCS game that hopefully draws an SEC team, so we can start to reverse that trend of where they think the best football is in the country because the SEC can hold that (claim) right now."
The 2012 BCS bowl schedule is set up as follows:
January 2 - Rose Bowl (Pasadena)
January 2 or 3 - Sugar Bowl (New Orleans)
January 3 or 4 - Orange Bowl (Miami)
January 4 or 5 - Fiesta Bowl (Glendale, Ariz.)
January 9 - National Championship Game (New Orleans)
What if Notre Dame runs the table and plays Alabama in New Orleans for the national championship? Do you think that would be a cheap ticket?
Eddie Gran wants the 'Noles to "Take Doak Back"
A year ago, Florida State was 6-1 playing inside Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee. In Jimbo Fisher's first season as head coach, FSU defeated Samford, BYU, Wake Forest, Boston College, Clemson, and Florida. The only hiccup in Tallahassee was a 37-35 loss to North Carolina.
The home schedule this season includes ULM, Charleston Southern, Oklahoma, Maryland, NC State, Miami (FL), and Virginia.
Not only does FSU running backs coach Eddie Gran want to run the table, but he also wants to "Take Doak Back."
During a recent radio interview, Gran reiterated the need to fill the stands and to create a powerful environment at Doak. Gran admitted the crowd on two separate Saturdays last year created that special goose bump feeling, but that was just two of seven opportunities.
Gran said, "There were five games where I didn't feel you…we need to take that stadium back."
And let's be honest, having coached in the SEC for over ten years, Gran know the advantage the home team crowd can bring to the table.
Perhaps this is what Gran is hoping to see week in and week out:
Art Briles as confident as ever, praises Phil Bennett
Baylor head coach Art Briles is usually a glass half-full type of guy. Today, that glass may have been completely full, as Briles seemed downright giddy about his football team.
The Bears are coming off their first winning season since 1995, but did lose two first-round draft choices and a number of players on defense.
During an interview with Brian Smith of Fox Sports Southwest, Briles said, "We've got some guys (receivers) who can play, no doubt. We've got some playmakers, some difference makers. They're going to be counted on and they're going to make plays for us. But we'll still be tough and aggressive up front. We've got a great offensive line coming back this year, and we'll run the football effectively also."
"Through the years, if you'll check the stats, we've been very productive throwing and rushing the football. We've been one of the few teams in America over the years to have a 3,000-yard passer, a couple of 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher. We're really one of only five or six teams to do that nationally."
"We're always going to run the football. We'll be very effective running the football. We have our own style of play that we're not altering. We've had great success in how we've been able to do it. We finished 12th or 13th last year in total offense in America. We'll continue to do what we do, and we'll continue to get better as we're doing it."
Coach, is Phil Bennett going to be able to rebuild and restructure the Baylor defense?
"There's no 'try' to it; he's already done it. He's a doer and he's a proven commodity. That's what I love him."
Baylor opens with three consecutive home games against TCU, Stephen F. Austin, and Rice.
Will college coaches be required to sell season tickets?
In lieu of salary cutbacks or furloughs, the Oakland Raiders' organization is requiring coaches to sell new season tickets that total at least 10% of their salaries during the length of the NFL lockout.
Raiders chief executive Amy Trask believes, "A very strong argument can be made that this is something that staff members of every team should be doing all the time."
Oakland assistant coach Chuck Bresnahan told USA Today, "Everybody's trying to get creative in their own way. I know I've got something to talk about at every establishment I set foot in — every restaurant, every store, every winery."
Here in the towers at FootballScoop Headquarters, the story makes us wonder if certain college athletic departments should require their assistant coaches to meet a quota for season ticket sales.
Of course, we are thinking mostly about the mid-major programs and a few of the BCS programs that would undoubtedly greatly benefit from an extra 4,500 season ticket sales.
Each program has nine assistant coaches, so that would leave each assistant coach responsible for 500 ticket sales.
Here's a great point by SI.com writer Peter King, who wrote today in his Monday Morning QB column, "I love the Raiders asking their employees (including coaches) to sell tickets in an attempt to make sure their salaries aren't cut. Jarrett Bell wrote about this in USA Today last week, and I wanted to shake my head and say, "Typical Raiders.'' But I couldn't. It's actually pretty smart. And don't you think coaches would be great ticket sellers out in the community, particularly when they can regale some Chamber of Commerce audience with stories from the gridiron. Nice job, Amy Trask."
It should be noted that college coaches do help season-ticket sales by their various speaking engagements. Since head coaches can no longer recruit away from campus during the spring, their time has been consumed by fundraising and speaking engagements. There is not, however, a college that currently mandates a quota of ticket sales from a head coach or any assistant, at least not that we are aware.

Ready for year #4, Pelini explains his philosophy
Bo Pelini is entering his fourth season as the head coach of the winning-est college football program in the last fifty years, both in number of wins and percentage wise. Under Pelini, the Nebraska has finished 9-4, 10-4, and 10-4.
ESPN's College Football LIVE has the Huskers ranked #13 in their pre-season poll.
Recently, Pelini talked about his philosophy with Randy York.
Pelini explained, "Part of my philosophy is, I think, you gotta be black-and-white all the time. You gotta be honest. You gotta be the same all the time. I hear people say that some guys are players' coaches, but at the end of the day, your kids have to believe in and trust in you having their best interests at heart - on the field and off the field - in everything you do."
"Being a players' coach doesn't mean telling a player what he wants to hear all the time. You have to be honest with them, hard on them, push them and try to get the best out of them in a lot of different ways, but at the same time, players have to understand that what you are asking them to do is in their own best interests."
Although the Huskers have lost some outstanding players the last two years to the NFL, Pelini sees more than one advantage.
"You're looking now at 90 to 95 percent of this team being guys you've recruited. I've gone into their homes, and I haven't made any promises to anybody. All I've told them is we will give them an opportunity, and it's up to them what they do with that opportunity. I've always felt it's important to set the stage for that right up front, so they know what kind of coach and what kind of system they're getting themselves into. There are no surprises. When that happens, you're all on the same page from the start. They're not coming in here with any false sense of reality about what they're being asked to do on a daily and weekly basis."
Pelini explained, "I don't know if we've had a guy make a bad decision or the same mistake twice because they all know the standards. Slowly but surely, that becomes the culture and the expectations in the locker room. It gets to a point where you don't have to police them because they police themselves. That's when you get really strong."
Nebraska opens with three consecutive home games against Chattanooga, Fresno State, and Washington.
Skip Holtz: Big East should consider expanding to 12, adding ECU
When TCU joins the Big East in 2012, the league will have nine programs competing in football. Villanova is a possibility for number ten.
But South Florida head coach Skip Holtz believes the Big East should look at going to twelve teams. The former East Carolina head coach from 2005-2009, Skip Holtz believes that East Carolina is a perfect fit.
During an interview with Pirate Radio 1250, Holtz explained, "I think we need to look hard at going to 12. Is that where we're going? Are we going to 12? And if we're going to 12 and we're going to add three, then I would love to see East Carolina as one of the additions in this league."
"I have fond memories of East Carolina and my time here in Greenville. I look at their fanbase and their following and the support they have here, and being located here in the Carolinas, I think East Carolina can pick up and really grow into the program Virginia Tech has become, with the opportunity to be in a (league) like the Big East."
"It's one of the things I'd love to see happen. It's going to be really interesting to see how this is going to play out here over the next couple of months, but I think it's definitely something the Big East needs to look at and consider."
ESPN's Brian Bennett writes, "The Pirates have a dedicated fan base and a program that has been pretty consistently solid. It's not in a big market but could bring some attention in the Carolinas. On the flip side, have you ever tried to get to Greenville, N.C.?"
UCF and Houston are other realistic candidates.
Rich Rod: The experience has made me hungrier for my next job
We are six months away from the job hunting season. Undoubtedly, there will be a number coaching changes after the 2011 college football season.
One coach certainly hoping to get back in the profession is Rich Rodriguez.
Rich Rod told the Register Herald, "I hope I still have 10 or 15 years of coaching in me. The whole experience at Michigan has just made me hungrier for my next job."
The athletic director that makes the decision to hire Rodriguez will be getting a coach that has led a program to four Big East championships and twice was honored as the Big East Coach of the Year.
He has also handled his departure from Michigan in a first-class manner.
Reflecting back on his Michigan experience, Rodriguez said, "The fans were really great. Even people I've talked to since January. There were some that were a little more impatient than others, but overall, the Michigan fans were terrific. But the administration wanted to go in a different direction. When athletic directors change, a lot of them want to bring in their own guys. That was probably the case with this one."
Although Rich and his family are still living in Michigan, he says they may stay the summer in Naples, Florida, but admitted that West Virginia will always be home.
"My happiness usually is related to winning football games. So my first year was miserable. Things were a little better the second year. But it wasn't like it was at West Virginia. West Virginia is my home. It always will be my home."
Athletic departments getting creative to increase ticket sales
It's an interesting idea and one that we haven't seen before. In early June, the University of Buffalo athletic department will host a 4 on 4 flag football tournament that will cost $150 (youth team) or $200 (adult team).
All participates will receive 2 tickets to a Buffalo home football game this season. Although the weather is not always ideal in Buffalo, the Bulls' averaged just 12,981 per home game last season.
The good thing is that the event will give the athletic department a chance to interact with fans, students, and the local weekend warrior. There is even a co-ed division for the tournament, which will take place at the Buffalo football practice fields and inside UB Stadium.
The whole idea made us wonder how much money some of the larger schools in the country could raise by hosting a similar event.
Could you imagine how many people would pay to play flag football inside Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, or even on the LSU practice fields? What about places like Ohio State, Wisconsin, or Texas?
Plenty of colleges now host Fantasy Camps for boosters and "Football 101" for women, but the 4 on 4 flag football tournament is a new idea.
Props to the Buffalo athletic department. We hope the event turns out well.
Like everyone, USC is trying to sell tickets. Check out the Trojans' strategy.
